Sunscreens Fail Quality Tests Ahead Of Expected Heatwave

The organisation carried out checks on 26 sunscreen lotions available from major supermarkets and retailers. It found that three of the products did not pass all the tests, while some of the cheaper options from supermarkets Aldi and Lidl did.

The revelation comes as temperatures could soar to 30C in some parts of the UK this week, bringing an increased risk of death for the elderly and vulnerable. The Met Office has issued a yellow health warning for all but one region of the country, which comes into effect at 8am today and will remain in place until 5pm on Thursday.
